Batteries

Household batteries are now accepted in the Recycle More program! Please note that there is no stand alone battery pickup – the battery pickup must be combined with another Recycle More pickup. See the Recycle More page for details. The public can also still use the free drop off sites listed below to recycle batteries.

All types of household batteries must be recycled – it’s required by state law. All the sites below accept rechargeable batteries; the sites highlighted in blue accept both rechargeable and non-rechargeable (alkaline) batteries. Please separate battery types for easier recycling, and tape the positive (+) terminal on your batteries before dropping off. By law, cell phones and rechargeable batteries should be accepted anywhere they are sold.

Automobile batteries are also banned from the trash. When you buy a new battery, the store where you purchased it is required to take your old battery for recycling. Lead is separated from the other battery parts and is used to make new batteries. Auto batteries are also accepted for recycling drop-off at these locations:
